tranny

Tranny is a derogatory slur for a transgender person, often specifically a transgender woman.

During the early 2000s, there was some confusion and debate over whether tranny was considered as a slur, was considered acceptable, or was a reappropriated term of unity and pride. By 2017, the term had been banned by several major media stylebooks and was considered hate speech by Facebook until 2025, when they made significant changes to moderation policy.
